Astraia, Sword of Justice

It’s time to talk about the Seven Sword of Virtue. If the Seven Swords of Sin do exist, then their good counterparts must exist too. And a Sword of Just-ice must thaw ice. What do you think? Long live the Boss!

Astraia, Sword of Justice (Major Artifact)

Aura strong enchantment; CL 16th

Slot none; Price —; Weight 8 lbs.

Alignment LG; Ego 25

Senses 30 ft. (vision and hearing)

Int 18, Wis 18, Cha 10

Communication speech/telepathy (Common, Thassilonian)

Powers The sword can cast create food and water, protection from evil, and cure serious wounds 3 times per day.

Astraia is a +5 thawing greatsword with a platinum handle and guard; its blade glitters as pure diamond. Any evil character trying to wield the blade suffers the effects of burning disarm (cold damage, 5d4 hp), in addition to taking a negative level as long as she holds it.

While bearing the weapon, the wielder is immune to all charm and compulsion effects. Three times per day, the wielder can utter a word that marks a creature as a wrongdoer, as mark of justice, except that, rather than being cursed, the target is restrained as by a shackle spell when the mark activates. Once per day, when the sword scores a critical hit, the target must make a DC 25 Will save or be affected by binding (chaining or hedged prison version).

Destruction

Astraia crumbles into grey dust if used to kill or restrain a hundred innocent people, knowingly and deliberately (not under any duress, blackmail, or enchantment effect).

We have passed the year’s half. It’s very hot. Wars stop and then fire up again. The evil ones seem to weaken but then do some other roaring, some other bad action. Will we soon have a chance? Could it be the last chance? Could it be our best chance? My friends, resist.

Merope Consumption (Combat)

Your body can metabolize the thriae’s magic honey to boost your rage.

Prerequisites: Bloodrager with the thriae bloodline.

Benefit: Merope, the thriae’s magical honey, affects you as if you were a thriae soldier. Once per day as a standard action, you can consume a dose of merope in order to enhance your combat abilities for a number of rounds equal to 1d6 + your Constitution bonus. Starting on the round after the merope is consumed, you gain a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls and saving throws, and fast healing 3. You can also consume merope instead of honey or mead for the purpose of your sweet stinger bloodline power, but the benefits from this feat and sweet stinger don’t stack with each other.

Thriae Blood Rage Powers

Thriae Blood, Lesser (Su): While raging, as a standard action the barbarian can consume a dose of honey or mead to gain one of several beneficial effects. The barbarian can only gain one benefit at the time, and each one can be gained once per day.

Inebriating: Each dose of honey or mead consumed by the barbarian counts as an alcoholic drink for the purpose of using rage powers; while this ability is in effect, each dose consumed after the first one doesn’t count as an use of the lesser thriae blood rage power for the day.

Caustic: Instead of consuming the honey or mead, the barbarian can apply it to a weapon. If she does, her weapon gains the corrosive quality for 1 round.

Rousing: The barbarian regains 1d4 rounds of rage. She cannot use this ability if she has not spent any rounds of rage in a day.

Soothing: The barbarian regains 1d8 hit points. She cannot use this ability if her hit points are at their maximum, and cannot regain hit points beyond her maximum.

Thriae Blood (Ex): While raging, the barbarian gains resistance 5 to sonic and a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against poison.

Thriae Blood, Greater (Sp): Once per rage as a standard action, the barbarian can issue a sending to 1 or 2 creatures she designated as part of her “swarm”. Designating or changing a swarm mate requires 1 hour of meditation.
